Xia Nuo and the others were full of anticipation, hoping to have more contact with Professor Chen and learn more from him.

Of course, it would be even better if I could join Professor Chen's core research team in the future, or even become his student.

Xia Nuo suppressed her excitement, put away her smile, and subconsciously glanced at Chu Yang again.

He scoffed inwardly.

Even if you're an exchange student from Guangdong University of Technology, and you're the top science student, what good is it? Can you even get in touch with top research teams? And what future do you have?

I really don't know what's so great about being arrogant!

Gao Hong seemed to sense her emotions and asked again, "Are you sure you don't want me to teach him a lesson?"

"No need," Xia Nuo shook her head.

“That’s true.” Gao Hong smiled dismissively and said, “They’re not on our level, so there’s no point in arguing with them.”

"Yeah, what kind of class do they have to come to Liuyuan to spend money? Ordering so many dishes is just showing off. They probably spend a month's worth of food here, right?" another boy named Wang Gui mocked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang pulled out a wad of banknotes and placed it on the table. Judging by the thickness, it was at least ten thousand yuan.

Wang Gui's lips twitched. "Damn... so rich!"

"Heh, how vulgar." Gao Hong chuckled, gesturing for them to sit down. "Alright, let's order some food too. We agreed to split the bill this time..."

…

"What do you mean A? I said I was treating."

Chu Yang pointed to the banknotes on the table: "Now you can eat without worry, right?"

Hu Liangao and the others laughed, and looking at the table full of delicious dishes, they finally picked up their chopsticks.

The food at Liuyuan Garden is a bit pricey, but the taste is still quite good.

After taking a few bites, Hu Liangao glanced at Xia Nuo and whispered, "You heard that, right? Professor Chen is going to give a lecture to the research group tomorrow."

"I'm so envious, I want to join the group too," Chen Zhiqiang said.

"It's so hard to get into the group, this is my third time applying," Li Jing said helplessly.

“You need a recommendation from a senior member of the group. As you just saw, Xia Nuo and the others were recommended to join the group by Senior Gao,” Hu Liangao said.

Chu Yang smiled but remained silent.

He had just noticed that Chen Jin's eyes were somewhat lecherous; it was less of a recommendation and more of a desire to seduce him.

It can only be said that Professor Chen is extremely prestigious at Jiaotong University, and students are scrambling to get his guidance.

"Let's not even think about joining the research group. It's already good enough that we can listen to Professor Chen's lectures in class. As for the core research team, we can forget about it," Chen Zhiqiang said.

"I'd really like to go in and take a look," Chu Yang said.

Hu Liangao and the others laughed.

"Just think about it, we want to too."

"That's Hanxin Research Institute, the most advanced research team in China!"

"Stop joking, we wouldn't be able to handle it even if we went in. Chips are too advanced for us."

"That's true," Chu Yang said casually.

Just then, Chen Chuan walked in.

"Brother Su!"

"Have my brother and the others arrived?" he asked as he walked over.

Chu Yang pointed to a private room: "They're here, they're inside."

Chen Chuan nodded: "Okay, let's go in."

Chu Yang stood up and said to Hu Liangao and the others, "You guys eat first, order more if you're not full, I'll pay the bill later."

"Brother Su, this is outrageous! I agreed to pay!" Chen Chuan scolded.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Chuan," Chu Yang said with a smile.

"That's more like it," Chen Chuan said, pulling Chu Yang into the private room.

Hu Liangao and his companions were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on?"

"And who is this Brother Chuan?"

"He seemed to have said that his brother was in the private room?"

"Could it be Professor Chen...?"

On the other side.

Gao Hong and his team were also a bit dumbfounded.

"That guy surnamed Su went into Professor Chen's and the leaders' private room!"

Who is that person?

"I don't know him."

"But how could Su Yang get in? What level is he?"

"I don't know either..."

Then they all looked at Xia Nuo.

Xia Nuo was a little frustrated: "How was I supposed to know? I couldn't even get his phone number."

Well, at this moment, she even wanted to ask for the number again.

In short, once Chu Yang entered the private room, they couldn't eat properly anymore.

Chu Yang stayed inside for a full half hour.

Needless to say, he must have had dinner and chatted with Professor Chen and the leaders.

Gao Hong, who had previously mocked others and even threatened to teach them a lesson, was now extremely relieved that he hadn't acted impulsively.

At this moment, Chu Yang and Chen Chuan came out.

I glanced in their direction.

"Um..." Gao Hong wanted to say something, but the guy ignored them completely.

The scene suddenly became very awkward.

Throughout the entire ordeal, that guy didn't say a single word to them, but he slapped them across the face with his actions.

This also perfectly illustrates that we are truly not on the same level as them...

On the other side, Hu Liangao and his group were also stunned.

Seeing the two of them come out arm in arm, they quickly put down their chopsticks.

There's no way I can not be reserved.

That was Professor Chen's private room with the leaders! Su Yang stayed there for half an hour!

They used to say that it was hard to get into the research group, but look at Su Yang, he got into the dinner party right away.

"What are you all standing there for? Keep eating," Chu Yang said with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Chuan brought over a bottle of wine.

Chen Zhiqiang reacted quickly, took the glass, opened it, and poured two cups.

"Why don't you all have a drink together?" Chen Chuan said with a smile.
